Heidelberg - A Romantic Getaway in Germany

When I think of Heidelberg, these adjectives came into my mind...Romantic, Idyllic, Picturesque, Magnificent and Tranquil...For those who are romantic at heart, Heidelberg would be a great choice to spend the holiday especially with your loved ones. Heidelberg, being one of Germany's most popular travel destinations, has so many interesting places to offer, namely Heidelberg Castle, University of Heidelberg (Ruprecht-Karls-Universität), Königstuhl, Old Bridge, Studentenkarzer, Heidelberg's Old Town, Philosophenweg and many more.

I went on a trip to Heidelberg organised by GLOBUS, a tutor-based organisation at my university that take care of the international students here.I had a wonderful time and tremendous joy exploring the awe-inspiring city with my international friends.We managed to explore some of the fascinating sightseeings and highlights of Heidelberg.Enjoy the pictures!!!

My facebook & Twitter status while on the bus "Sitting on the bus with the Spanish guys..chomeyl geela dorunk buat lawak..the journey has just started and i'm already having much fun! ".
I spent most of my time in Heidelberg with the Spanish guys, Pablo & Javier and also Sangpil, the Korean guy.

View from the bus

 Karlsplatz
Our first sightseeing place after getting down of the bus.

From Karlsplatz, you can see the magnificent Heidelberg Castle.

Heidelberg in Spring...Best time of the year to explore Heidelberg...The weather is just nice, not too hot nor too cold.

Bergbahnen
Bergbahnen - It's like Bukit Bendera's funicular train.This train took us to the Castle in less than 3 minutes.

Heidelberg Castle
The Heidelberger "Schloss" (Castle) rises up on a rocky hilltop over the city's Old Town. Heidelberg's "Schloss" is one of the most impressive castles in Europe and a highlight along the German Castle Road.

Breathtaking views from Heidelberg Castle

I can simply stay there enjoying the view the whole day...lovely...

Nak letak caption awwwwwww je bleh?

Nak awww jugak...tp tambah eh ah eh ah skit...

Palace Courtyard
Once inside the Castle courtyard, you’ll see quite clearly that parts of the castle were built at different times in different styles. The architecture of the buildings is really impressive.

Can you see that clock tower? It's awesome. However, due to the daylight saving and same time across European countries, the time on this clock is not the same as normal watch because it's determined by the position of sun which is different at other places in Europe.Pening? I baca balik pon pening skit..


Great Wine Barrel
Here you can see the great wine barrel which is located in the cellar under Heidelberg castle.

Gelati Ice-Cream
 The weather was really nice for an ice-cream.Gelati caffe bar is the right place to get your ice-cream...It's so cone licking good..

University Library of Heidelberg
Germany's oldest university library dates back to the 14th century. Today it is one of the largest and most up-to-date of its kind.Heidelberg is very famous for having the oldest university in Germany.Now there's a New University which is regarded as the center of the Old Town campus.And the library is situated in the New Campus.


Old Bridge
